LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Firm of Cauley Geller
Bowman & Coates, LLP announced today that it has filed a class action in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf
of all individuals and institutional investors that purchased the common stock
of JNI Corp. (Nasdaq: JNIC) ("JNI" or the "Company") between October 16, 2000
and January 24, 2001, inclusive, including stock purchased pursuant to JNI's
October 19, 2000 Secondary Offering (the "Class Period").
The complaint charges that the Company and certain of its officers and
directors violated the federal securities laws by providing materially false
and misleading information about the Company's business and financial
condition, and as a result of these false and misleading statements the
Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the class
period. JNI designs and supplies Fibre Channel hardware and software products
that connect servers and data storage devices to form storage area networks
("SANs"). The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, JNI made false
statements about its business and results causing its stock to trade at
artificially inflated levels. As a result of this inflation, JNI was able to
complete a $382 million stock offering (including the over-allotment) pursuant
to a Registration Statement and Prospectus dated 10/19/00.
JNI's stock price declined in early 11/00 due to stories appearing in the
press questioning the Company's competitive position and the pending
resignation of its CEO. However, the stock continued to be inflated as
defendants asserted there were no problems with the business and it was
"business as usual," and the CEO asserted that he would stay actively involved
with the Company as a member of the board. Then, on 1/24/01, JNI reported
4thQ 00 revenues of only $30.7 million and analysts reduced 2001 EPS estimates
to $0.80. Upon this disclosure, JNI's stock dropped to as low as $20, 84%
below the Class Period high, on volume of 4.4 million shares.
If you bought the common stock of JNI between October 16, 2000 and
January 24, 2001, inclusive, you may, no later than June 1, 2001 request that
the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative
party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the
class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that
the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain
circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead
plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected
by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain
Cauley Geller Bowman & Coates, LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve
as your counsel in this action.
Cauley Geller Bowman & Coates, LLP has substantial experience representing
investors in securities fraud class action lawsuits such as this. The firm
has offices in Florida, Arkansas and California, but represents shareholders
from throughout the nation. If you have any questions about how you may be
able to recover for your losses, or if you would like to consider serving as
one of the lead plaintiffs in this lawsuit, you are encouraged to call or e-
